I think it is a bit too young. They need a strong ability to hold themselves upright and I think 4 months may be too young for that, but you know your baby best. I would probably not use one until baby can sit up unassisted.

They should really be able to sit unassisted and their feet should come in complete contact with the floor when placed in the jumper. Otherwise, they are essentially dangling from the pelvis and the strain is not good for their bodies.

I got one for Connor for Christmas. He absolutely loves it. I made sure I got the actual "Jolly Jumper" as it holds them snugly and offers more support. Almost as if you were holding them up yourself. I ordered it from Amazon. He has amazing head control and crazy strong legs or I might have waited a little longer. He was born Sept. 2nd. So he is 4.5 months. His pedi saw a video of him in it and was very impressed and said he's doing great. He was definitely ready for it.

Now ours is hung in the living room, not in a doorway (hubby used the proper hardware needed to do this safely) it gives him more room and it is safer in my opinion because he won't hit a door frame. (He can get a little excited because he likes it so much)

I will say that we chose to get one because he didn't just want to stand on our laps, he wanted to jump on them and our arms were getting tired all the time.

Our DD (dear daughter) loves her Baby Eisenstein Activity Jumper. She plays with all the toys and when she hits the piano keys it makes her excited she jumps up and down.Our pediatrician told me that it should be adjusted so that her heels aren't all the way down on the ground putting too much weight on her hips.Did I misunderstand?
